You got the darkest tint legally allowed and it looks just delicious!!!

Will do the same but in my case, may have to "skirt" the local law a bit.

Will take A41Billy advise and get a waiver from my Optometrist when I see him in Sept.

All this, too look cool and more importantly, avoid that dreaded ticket!!!!

Does anyone have pics of a steel metallic Fit with tint? I am trying to get an idea of what mine would look like. I think the others look great.

what ever tint style you go with, try to get the darkest they have. i got 5% on my fit and its worth it...some say i'm crazy because of the cops but ive had them for 2 years been pulled over 6 times total, and not once has any cop mentioned my tints. nobody can see in; even if your standing at the window, where as i can clearly see out. Only problem is you have to roll your windows down at night or else you can't see your side view mirrors..
oh well though thats the price you have to pay for privacy

I never like leaving the POPO with an excuse, option or reason to pull me over. Illegal tint gives them that right. Here in NC, they are high dollar award givers for illegal tint

They even have little tint measurement meters lol! You would think there were some bad guys to catch?
Just sayin....
I bet your FIT looks great! Pics?

We have the medical waiver here in MA, too. I'm not getting tint, as I really don't think it's necessary up here, but it sure does look great on all the Fits I've seen on here so far!

Any advice as to a recommended tint for the sunroof? I have never had one before and I am not sure how much it needs.

It does but it doesn't seem all that dark. I didn't know if other drivers had decided to enhance the tint on the sunroof.

Probably not since you can pull the shade closed if it's too sunny.....
